Our tweets of the week have arrived, and what a week it’s been! Mourinho’s Chelsea done gone lost at home to Basel, Jonjo Shelvey turned in the most confusing performance ever…
…and Italy legend Alessandro Del Piero went travelling back in time. All this and a relatively decent amount more in our tweets of the week!
Take it away, various football-related figures…

Twisted Logic of the Week
Rodney Marsh, ex-Fulham, Manchester City and Queens Park Rangers
When Native American Indians leave their tribe, they never return. It's bad luck for the tribe. #mourinho?

Chelsea aren’t a Native American tribe, Rodney.
Man of the Match of the Week
Jonjo Shelvey, Swansea City
Only one 'man of the match' in this game! Jonjo Shelvey has been the best player for both teams.
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) September 16, 2013
#Shelvey has been everywhere. He's had more touches in this game tonight than Jack Rodwell's had in his entire career.
— Paddy Power (@paddypower) September 16, 2013
Shelvey has had a hand in all four goals (at both ends). He can't get the match ball but they should give him the air from it in a balloon.

Strange Thing to Say of the Week
Davie Provan, Sky Sports
"Whatever age he lives to, he's been the story of the match so far." Bit of a non-sequitur there from Davie.
— Miguel Delaney (@MiguelDelaney) September 16, 2013
@MiguelDelaney Was he suggesting that Shelvey is having such a bad night that he might actually die here?
